∴

there is a sea of self discovery
on the other side of sorrow.

 

it rocks the ship that sorrow is
and reminds us of a shore
that we might once again
moor upon
and feel the salted sands
of equanimity
and relief,

sturdy beneath our soles.

 

strong coast of smallest grit,
push back the craft we ride,
and warm us with the selfsame sun
that refined us in fire

when we were lost upon the waves.
